Tani:
i was in exactly this situation and now
have a 9 year old daughter. Are you in
fact pregnant? If so, I can provide some
insight about what you might be facing in
the months to come.

There is such a thing as phantom pregnancy
where you have all the symptoms of a
normal pregnancy. Have you done a home
pregnancy test and or blood test, don't
worry about the weight gain, you need to
eat , it is a lot better than getting
sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got pregnant only nine months after my
by-pass and was really still in the lose
phase. I had a wonderful, perfect baby
girl! My doctor monitored my weight
throughout and I only gained 20 pounds.
I was back to where I started in 2 weeks
after pregnancy. My only difficulty was
anemia - which I always seem to have now.
She wasn't planned but is my greatest
joy! Prior to the bypass I was told i'd
never be pregnant.
Truly a miracle! Be happy!
